Overview:

This course is designed to give graduate students an overview of current research and debate in the field of personality psychology. This is a survey course which provides a wide-ranging overview of current topics in personality psychology. Students interested in personality theory or personality assessment should take other courses (e.g., Psych 567, 594). Moreover, complete courses can and are given on individual facets of each week’s topics. Thus, this class is designed to give students a broad view of the existing literature with the hope that students will delve into specific topics in greater depth.

Course structure:

The weekly meetings will include a review of the target area and discussion of the assigned readings. All articles and chapters should be read before class and students should be ready to discuss the material.

Course requirements:

1. Research Paper: A research paper is due Wednesday, December 10^th. The topic is due Wednesday, October 15^th. Students will propose a series of studies designed to test ideas that bridge their research interests to that of personality psychology. The literature review will describe the relevant research in the area that is related to the research questions posed in the paper, and how the proposed studies will add to existing knowledge. This introduction should be 3 to 7 pages long. The studies should then be proposed and include a description of the methods (participants, equipment, procedures, design, etc.), ethics, and possible findings, and a discussion of the importance of each study. You should devote 2 to 3 pages to each of the three studies. The final discussion should highlight how your studies complement one another, the shortcomings of your studies, the patterns of data that might occur, and the significance of the research. The general discussion should be 2 to 4 pages. The research paper constitutes 40% of the final grade.
2. Personality Wiki: As part of the class, I would like you to help develop a wiki for graduate students in personality psychology and allied fields. This wiki will be a compilation of key articles organized by issue or domain within personality psychology. Your task will be to choose one of the topics that organizes this class, or a topic of your choice that you have discussed with me. Once you have chosen a topic, then you will compile a reference list of key studies emphasizing the following categories: 1) Classic papers/books on the topic, 2) citation classics, and 3) recent work on the topic (primary studies from the last 5 to 10 years). I will put together your reading lists and post them on my web site. Grad students can then use this information for literature reviews and to better study for Quals. The wiki reference list will constitute 20% of your grade.
3. Class Participation: Students are expected to participate in class either through “formal” presentations of papers or through contributions to discussions. Contributions to discussions can be made orally in class, or you can post discussion questions to the class before we meet. Feel free to email questions before we meet. Questions and discussions can also continue on topics after we meet. “Formal” presentations will be brief, 10 minute overviews of readings. I will run the seminar “old school” style, in which I will call on you in a semi-random order to provide the overview for one of the readings. Therefore, you should come to class prepared to present a quick overview of each reading, each week. Class participation constitutes 40% of the final grade

Readings

We are in a unique situation for this class, as the Handbook of Personality Theory and Research (referred to as “HPTR”) has just been published. This book is considered the definitive tome for personality psychology and represents the most thorough take on each relevant issue. Therefore, we have something of a text book for this class. For each of the topics below, you will find one or more corresponding chapters from the HPTR to read. We will start our discussion with these chapters and then proceed to discuss the additional articles that should compliment the readings from HPTR.

Papers in bold or with a hyperlink are required reading.
